Track Official Rates via MCP Server

The `get_ipca` and `get_ipca15` tools pull the official Brazilian consumer price index data directly into your workspace. Cascade reads this data from SGS series 433 to build historical comparison charts or update your financial models without waiting for you to prompt the next step. When you need the advance reading, Cascade automatically fires `get_ipca15`. It chains these results with the main IPCA data, letting your agent construct a complete view of inflation trends before writing the required Python analysis scripts.

Pull Rent and Wage Indices

The `get_igpm` and `get_inpc` tools fetch the specific indices used for Brazilian contract adjustments and minimum wage calculations. You tell Windsurf to update a real estate pricing model, and it independently grabs the IGP-M data from SGS series 189 to adjust rental yield projections. Labor cost calculations rely heavily on the INPC. Cascade pulls this exact metric for families earning 1 to 5 minimum wages, piping the raw numbers straight into your payroll forecasting code while you watch.

Forecast Market Expectations

The `get_expectativas_inflacao` tool retrieves the Focus Survey data, including median, mean, and standard deviation for future inflation targets. Windsurf takes your prompt about future economic conditions and autonomously queries this endpoint to build predictive models. Instead of manually downloading BCB spreadsheets, you just ask your agent to analyze market sentiment. Cascade filters the expectations by IPCA or IGP-M, parses the statistical spread, and writes the required data visualization components into your current file.

Yes, Cascade reads your goal and runs multiple tools in sequence. It will pull historical IPCA data and immediately fetch market expectations to write a complete analysis script.

The server includes a dedicated tool for market expectations. Cascade pulls median, mean, min, and max projections directly from the Focus Survey.

You get direct access to IGP-M for rent and INPC for wage adjustments. Your agent can pull these specific series to update local pricing logic in your application.

Your environment only requests public economic indicators like IGP-M and IPCA from the Central Bank. Vinkius runs the connection through an ephemeral V8 Isolate sandbox, meaning no local project code ever leaks to the external data provider.
